ISO GD experts or how to collect 'best' live recordings |
Hi and warm greetings from sunny Poland,
This question is definitely pointed to the all of you, who are enjoying much GD music so to all non-GD goers - please be understanding if you're not really into their mood :). I started my journey with GD many years ago and reflected I am still missing much of live works. So......
Could anyone is able (at least barely) help me out with typing best Grateful Dead recordings from their official live catalogue from 1965 thru 1980? Maybe you want to know why I typed just these particular dates. The reason is quite simple: for me these years are the most significant and best eras in group's entire history and even if Brent Mydland and Vince Welnick were great keyboardists, GD was never the same group as they've crossed through 1980s. The music has changed, the world has turned into new era and thus the music of TGD also have changed. Speaking strictly, these years are no doubt my favourite ones.
If below abbreviations used, is it really possible to type (or at least talk) 2 particular titles per each year? I've tried to create simplest classification as I can but I am aware using the word 'simple" regarding to the GD music (and especially to live material) is at least unsatisfactory speak. So, to be not groundless, here are 4 classes I am sorting GD shows I am keen to get:
1) the show must be definitely "on"; we all know GD played literally tons of shows and sometimes group wasn't enough fresh and rested to perform top quality show (for example, years 1972 and 1973 are much 'less' vigor-uish, not only the band had started experiencing problems with great late Pigpen but also pulled out into new direction: after few very light/soft albums inspired much by American folk music, they started going much more progressive but it was a new land for them and "Wake of the Flood" period is kinda 'blurred' if u take my meaning; departure of Mickey Hart also limited their sound*).
2) the show must include rarely performed songs or songs in versions that are unique and significant for some particular reasons; for me a good example of what I am trying to explain is farewell concert that took place on Bill Graham's Winterland in year 1978; a special 'fourth' set was arranged in last minute with special guests (John Cipolina, Lee Oscar etc.) and for an hour we all came back to the golden years of West Coast culture; this show gently mixing their progressive era along with earlier works and for me it's exceptional.
3) historical value of the show (ie. closing of Fillmore West or East etc.); on this particular model choosing something shouldn't be as much difficult as I suppose.
4) the show that is representative especially due to the fact the band performed songs that are freshly written and are showing up for the very first time and are introduced to the live audience.
Many might said just grab few titles and goes on - if you do not like'em you're not a true Deadhead but they're wrong I do believe. Everyone has its own unique tastes and everyone's enjoying diffferent shows. Personally I am preferring more dynamic GD shows (but to be not so greedy, the San Francisco 1975 date released years ago on their "Vault" series is more than briliant; for me it's the most brilliant and brightest moments of American music ever recorded and the show itself is just amazing).
Well, I hope I am not asking for something difficult for you and I am sure we'll talk more about GD soon. And please remember - I am looking for their official catalogue (ie. Dick's Picks, Road Trips etc.), not aud's/sbd's torrented widely (got plenty of them). Reason? Top quality multi-track mixdowns, professional edits.
Thx in advance,
Z.
(*)I was offered to buy "Winterland 1973: The Complete Recordings" box set just for under $60 so it's nice price. However, depends on material (looks quite good, especially discs 5 thru 9), does it really worth a price when not a biggest fan of 1973 era?
Am I rightly convinced that this box collecting truly best audios possible to find from 1973? I hope it does...:D.

Jacky - When you respond to a thread, you do not need to use the @ symbol in reference to the person to whom you are responding. It's already understood because you are only responding to one person, dick.
Now pretty please, fuck off...You are already boring the shit outta me and we have not even begun to trade insults. You are one lame fucking troll...It would be different if you ever, even once, contributed something - anything besides a fake dialect and a one line post that's been modified a half dozen times.....Or for that matter even say something even remotely funny....You suck dude.

Re: @rse |
Look you limp witted lame-brain, I do not need your fecking guidance on how to respond.
If you are so bored, why bother to respond ?
Is your own forum so boring that you need to show off your trolling skills here ?
What have you contributed here apart from your highly unhealthy obsession with Kochman and your phony audio engineer bullshit ?
Wanker.

Re: ISO GD experts or how to collect 'best' live recordings |
Speaking from experience, anytime an unknown poster says something like "I hope we'll handle something out anyway" I recommend not asking a question along the lines of "What is it you hope we handle?".
The answer could result in you never looking at lemmings and Jay Leno the same way again.
Just a warning.

Excellent! Someone I know from Warsaw sent me this -- did the writing or voice for it -- but I never got around to asking what the heck it meant:
